This is Alison! I'm a big believer in trying things out as a way to find out what approach works for you, just the same as traditional routes to get help. Specifically for technology, it's always good to look at the premise of the technology, are there any studies that support it's efficacy? Find out about the developers, why are they creating what they're creating, are their backgrounds credible, and how are they making money? At the very least the tech should have a privacy policy and be transparent about that. At that point - it's up to you where your limits are and what you find effective. Since there's not a one-size-fits-all approach, you might need to look around to see what suits you best.

"Whale hello there 🐋" and, when Woebot asking for someone to check in, "wanna go on a data?"

To finish on a Woebot joke,

"Q: Why don’t robots get scared?

A: Because they have nerves of steel. Well, not *nerves*. Robots don't have nerves. We have wires. Now that I think of it, humans can't literally have nerves of steel either, because that isn't medically possible. You know what? Human humor is difficult"

I keep saying it, but if Mayo want to challenge Dublin or Kerry, they need to start playing from throw in. Getting into a stride 20mins into a game, and being interrupted by the half time whistle won't win All Irelands.

I've been impressed by Sky's coverage of football so far. I like the analysis pregame and they strike such a different tone compared to rte. The whole Spillane, Brolly and O'Rourke combo is wearing thin.

Rte's GAA coverage has descended into farce at this stage. They never bother analysing the game they are covering.

It's just Brolly, Spillane and O'Rourke lamenting the current state of football and Brolly telling some long winded anecdote about some "Gaels" in Derry or Antrim that he knows and repeating pointless phrases like "psychology of fear".

I don't understand the fascination of Star Wars. I saw the movies, but didn't think much of them. Yet I see thousands of hardcore fanatics around the world. But it's OK if I don't understand it. As long as they're having fun.
